THE makers of a documentary film about Jeremy Corbyn are launching a new production on Britain’s reaction to the Gaza crisis which it hopes will be screened at the Glastonbury Festival.

Oh Jeremy Corbyn — The Big Lie was due to be shown at last year’s festival, with director Ken Loach lined up to provide an introduction, but the Platform Films production was dropped after an online campaign claimed that it was anti-semitic.

Platform’s new film, Big Lie II: Starmer and the Genocide, will explore the impact of the conflict in Gaza on British politics and the attitude of Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer.

Norman Thomas of Platform Films said that it would offer the film to the festival’s organisers, but if they turn it down, it will be made available for unofficial screenings.

“The festival claims to have a ‘long-standing commitment to free speech,’ but it broke that commitment when it dropped our film last year and we’re giving it chance to put that right,” Mr Thomas said.

“There is a genocide going on in which Britain is complicit and Glastonbury cannot shut its eyes to it.”
